The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry.
In the age of social media influencers and internet gurus, it can be hard to distinguish between fact and fiction – especially when it comes to diet and nutrition. Today, Jenn is comparing two popular diets: plant-based and the carnivore diet. What are they and how do you evaluate which one is better when both are said to be the best? Listen in as Jenn points out common red flags to look for and how to make reasonable and realistic changes that will improve your overall health and wellbeing!
IN THIS EPISODE:
● [09:39] What is the carnivore diet?
● [16:44] How to evaluate nutritional claims.
● [22:15] What is a plant-based diet?
● [24:46] Are the varying results from plant-based vs carnivore diet from causation or correlation?
● [37:21] Red flags to look for.
● [46:15] Reasonable and practical diet choices.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
● Be on the lookout for red flags when listening to internet “gurus” or doctors claiming certain diets or foods are better or worse than others. Do your research to verify that what they're saying is correct before jumping on board.
● When trying new foods or a new diet, be sure to pay attention to how you feel. If you're not sure, make that your primary focus and start paying attention to your body and how it reacts to changes in your diet.
● Research does not confirm that there is one specific way that humans are supposed to eat. We are a combination and not everybody will need the same things.
QUOTES:
